AI Circle

The AI Circle provides an arena for innovation and co-creation with stakeholders in the public and private sector. The invited members of this closed circle get the opportunity to take part in building and leveraging tomorrow’s artificial intelligence. Members of the AI Circle will be invited to events, lectures, workshops and the like, organized by CAIR. The purpose is to encourage new forms of collaboration and innovation, and to open opportunities for joint artificial intelligence projects. The AI Circle is a result of professor Granmo's long experience with innovation and co-creation with public and private sector. He wants the artificial intelligence research out and realized for the benefit of all, and is also inviting stakeholders in to participate where the breakthroughs occur.
